Idk if its worth it, it looks good and new. I would look into it more, beacause for 2-4 grand more you can get a brand new one so..... Its up to you.

Thanks for the reply. $2k-$4k is about 20%-40% more, which is quite signifigant. Do you know if the factory warranty transfers to the new owner?

Yep, the factory warranty definitely transfers to the new owner

As long as nothing has been done to void the warranty, it doesn't matter who owns it

I would never buy anything on ebay that cost over $1000.
I would be suspect of anyone selling a brand new car with 600 miles on it.

Lemon?


Just my opinion.

hey wikky, all the SS's have cruise, is yours auto? yeah you can have cruise, you just can't shift while in cruise. If you clutch, it disengages the cruise control, just like hitting the brake.

my 94 cavy z24 has cruise. (and is a manual) works great and like someone said, no shifting, and if you hit the clutch it's like hitting the break, it stops the cruise control.

don't mean to be a ***** but i hate when i open a thread titled one thing and then ends up talking about something else. this thread was about if the car was worth 10,000, not if standards have cruise control.

Was it worth it? If the prices of the leftover 2005 Cobalt SS's don't come down, I might just get a leftover 2005 Mustang with a 200hp 6cylinder 5 speed.

Thats roughly wholesale price. Its a pretty good deal as long as nothing is wrong with it.

Not for free, It costs what? $20 to run it, if ur serious, then go to their site and run it.

Although, a mustang would be sweet, but only in GT with a V8, not a whimpy V6 non-GT.

Save up and get the '07 Shelby Mustang GT 500, it will only be between $45,000 and $50,000, lol.


Seriously though, if your considering the car, why wait on the car fax, just run it already and find out about it. But with 600 miles on it, i doubt youll see anything.


As mentioned before, is it a Lemon?

Or did someone buy it and then got a job where they were provided a company car and dont need it, so why make payments on a car they dont need?

there should eb a dealer on here that can carfax it... also yes this is one of those stories where you want to watch the "too good to be true" meter.... Think about it from the sellers eyes... what would it take for you to sell a car that you literally just broke in... that **** woudl haev to be falllllinngg apart


EDIT:::

Also to add to my point... when you buy a car most people take out a loan, and pay intrest. Now intrest doesnt hurt so bad becuase your paying it over years and years... they couldnt have owned this for even one year and they are willing to take a loss on it???? BIGGGG REDDD FLAGGG

The dude claims he is a pawn broker. He says someone traded it to him for something he had. He says the car was originally titled in June.
